The Scholarly Penguin Society of InternationalNations is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 35.819 billion InternationalNationsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant InternationalNationsian economy, worth 771 trillion International Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 21,535 International Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, nude art is becoming wildly popular, artists are pillars of society, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. InternationalNations's national animal is the International Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

InternationalNations is ranked 86,365^th in the world and 2^nd in The International Nations for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,156.47 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
